if this doesn't work, go to youtube, search FE Vegas at Legg Lake.

1515 1Y / Hydra 240 with CC BEC; new Turnigy 4S 5000 30/40 C ; SB & C X642 ; Jeff Wohlt .078 wire drive with ball-bearing strut. Has LOTS more prop to go, but runs so stable in mid-fifties [est.] with no temp issues that I'm leaving the wing on & just getting max grins ! :smile:

Nice job!!!!!!!!!!! How many amps do you think your pulling with this set up?

[Jeff Wohlt]

She looks great!! Could not be trimmed better....great work. A little more pitched prop and you will be upper 50s in oval trim!

A+ Tony good job!!! I sold my red vegas to Diegoboy. I was going to make a Miss Bud out of her, still have my yellow Vegas tho. I settled in on a 12xl on 6s 6000mah.

I'm not sure I'm calculating this correctly, but using Steven's amp draw calculator in the "Tips" section I entered battery consumption [ 2 X 1800 mah ] and 2 minute runtime { the vid ran 2:06 minutes} the average draw was 108 amps. Seems reasonable.

And thanks Guys for the positive feedback !

That's definitely not the way to measure your amps. Get eagle tree v3.

Boat looks good. Great Job!

Antron, with all due respect, I was simply answering Mr. Wolf IVs question. I have an EagleTree with all the bells and whistles but would rather use "seat of the pants" impressions. If I can achieve, with my fun runners, speeds that make me
smile with temps so low I don't even bother to pull out the temp gun, and enough runtime to satisfy my desire, I'm good to go. I've learned the hard way not to "push" my setups [except for SAWs]. My oval raceboats are all setup for 6 laps on the 1/6 mile course without overstressing the goodies. Too much data makes my 'Ole head hurt ! :huh:

[AntronX]

Ok :smile: I had my boat all set up, with good amps and low temps and then on second run without data logger my motor burns up... Now I can only guess what went wrong without real data.

That looks awsome!

She's looking fine Tony... any changes since when I was there?

Just the batteries ; CG's right where you told me to change it to. Tweaked the prop a little also :spy:
